  • Mellon CBB Abstracts 2010-2011
    Appendix A: CBB Mellon Collaborative Faculty Enhancement Grants: Abstracts OCTOBER 2010 AWARDS Second Annual Colby-Bates-Bowdoin Economics Conference Collaborators: Bowdoin, Bates, Colby Principle: Stephen Meardon (Economics, Bowdoin) This project continued the Annual Colby-Bates-Bowdoin Economics Conference. The conference was a full-day annual event open to faculty, students and the community. Goals of the conference are cross- sub-disciplinary scholarly exchanges and research networking among faculty, presentation of honors work by students, and exposure of less senior students to questions and standards of economic research. The larger purpose is to bring the economics departments at Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin closer together, thereby encouraging collaborative faculty research and advancing the quality of student research. Participants expressed clearly their wish to repeat the event. A successful first conference was held at Bates on April 10, 2010. The conference in 2011 was held at Bowdoin; the aim is to continue the conference at Colby in 2012. Fostering Communication and Collaboration among Algebraists, Number Theorists and Topologists Collaborators: Bowdoin, Bates, and Colby Principle: Thomas Pietraho (Mathematics, Bowdoin) This collaboration brought together researchers who specialize in the fields of number theory, algebra and topology from Bowdoin, Bates and Colby Colleges for a three-part program: a research seminar with prestigious invited speakers, a “local collaboration conference” once per semester to stimulate collaborative research, and the appointment of six student-scholars committed to attending all lectures with faculty members. Goals are to facilitate the creation of joint research projects between faculty members (and possibly students) by highlighting problems which lie at the intersection of these three important disciplines within mathematics.

  • Cooperative Collection Development: Wellesley College and Williams College
    Cooperative Collection Development: Wellesley College and Williams College As members of the Boston Library Consortium [BLC], an association of 20 academic and research libraries located in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, Wellesley College and Williams College have actively participated in a number of cooperative collection development initiatives, including: . Cooperative Collection Development in Art and Architecture, a working group convened to explore possible cooperative collections initiatives. RESULT: the creation of a wiki for art librarians to provide information about their library’s collection strengths and to share current collecting priorities. Materials-vendor-supported efforts o Music Cooperative Collection Development Project with a goal to “diversify the number of titles acquired in the BLC and to reduce unnecessary duplication where that made sense based on an individual institution’s programmatic and curriculum needs.” RESULT: A shared approval plan profile for M-MT classification was created by participating libraries and is maintained by YBP. Data provides a mixed picture of success in achieving goal: number of unique titles purchased by participating libraries has decreased by 30% compared to FY07; however, over 67% of the titles profiled are purchased by 4 or fewer libraries. o Peer Group title selection decision information. BLC libraries that are YBP customers have access to title-level selection decision-making information for both firm orders and approval plan titles in the GOBI3 database service. Access to peer group data permits individual libraries and individual collection development librarians to place local added copy decisions within the context of local consortium resource-sharing. Shared Retention/Discard Task Force charged “to create a memorandum of understanding for BLC libraries for collaborative management of the print format of archival science indexes and abstracts and chemistry journals for the purpose of maximizing information releases while releasing shelf space for all participants.

Through GRITS Affiliates, schools gain access to GRITS, a web-based tool that simplifies project management for energy efficiency upgrades by tracking financial, energy, and carbon-emissions data— well beyond the capabilities of spreadsheets. GRITS Affiliates can be used by institutions with or without green revolving funds (GRFs). The tool provides a variety of benefits to schools, including: Access to a library with currently over 280 projects worth of data from other institutions Simplifying calculations of project-specific savings on both annualized and life-of-project timeframes Automatically calculating carbon emissions savings from specific projects Creating and printing customized graphs and reports that tell the story of current and anticipated financial and environmental performance Facilitating investments in efficiency projects by enabling administrators to easily and clearly communicate with stakeholders Emerson College is using GRITS to track savings for a number of campus conservation projects and plans to use it for GRF projects over the next few years. “Emerson College is thrilled to partner with SEI and to be the first GRITS Affiliate. We are very impressed with how robust the software is while remaining easy-to- use.

  • The Faculty Handbook of Bates College
    The Faculty Handbook of Bates College Revised August 2018 Bates values the diversity of persons, perspectives, and convictions. Critical thinking, rigorous analysis, and open discussion of a full range of ideas lie at the heart of the College's mission as an institution of higher learning. The College seeks to encourage inquiry and reasoned dialogue in a climate of mutual respect. Bates does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, marital or parental status, age, or disability, in the recruitment and admission of its students, in the administration of its educational policies and programs, or in the recruitment and employment of its faculty and staff. The Faculty Handbook of Bates College The information in this Handbook is for the faculty of Bates College. It is edited annually by the office of the dean of the faculty, with changes and additions authorized by the Board of Trustees, the faculty, or appropriate administrative officers of the College. As information is updated on the Web version of the Handbook, faculty are informed and changes are highlighted in color. Part 1 of the Handbook contains information on the rules and procedures of the faculty, including tenure and promotion and faculty governance (committee structure). Most of these rules and procedures are legislated by vote of the faculty. Parts 3 and 4, the College’s policies on nondiscrimination and sexual harassment and affirmative action, are found in the Employee Handbook. Parts 2, 5, 6 and 7 offer information on benefits and support programs for teaching and scholarship; instruction of students; information and library services; and faculty scholarship.
